Done. Went there the other day, hopped the fence and had a nose. Looks pretty good I really hope they leave it all there as I'm so close. Gets a bit frustrating cycling around it and not being able to have a blast.

Just about to do the quetsionaire. They have a great opportunity to turn it into a mutli-discipline site with loads of added facilities.

Done. Would be great to have some good local mtb trails

Update 2nd Dec

Will be just superb if they open up a trail center in Essex, we really need one...

Excellent news!

Although BikeRadar are just re-reporting whats already been said, but great to see that so many people agreed that biking should be part of the legacy although what did they expect people to say ?. "Knock it all down and build a funfair "!?.

The earlier impressions given by the powers that be is that in its present guise its far to dangerous for anyone to even contemplate riding unless you are a complete pro, rather patronisng.. I think their attitude now is (or I hope so) that some of the 'challanging' bits be left in, although in all honesty they prob do with moving some of the rocks as its too injury friendly at the moment although all the challenging bits do have a chicken run.

I'd like to see it joined up more with the exisiting 'tracks' in the area, an obvious bit is the steep 'Leap of Faith' drop could joing up with the exisiting lil DH section that leads down towards the railway line.

Lets hope that when the legacy is discussed they get some input DH's, XC's and all sorts of riders.

Would it be better to have it like chicksands so there is a bit of everything you could have a awesome 4x course in their too

Whilst it has some steep drops, there isn't really long stretches of DH plus at the mo it doesnt really have any berms (except the big rock one) but guess theres no reason why they couldnt be added.
